4.9/5 (28041 ratings)

Description:Albert Payson Terhune (1872-1941) was the most famous, the most productive and the highest-paid writer of dog stories who ever lived. A giant of a man with a granite-like solidity, he had three loves: his wife Anice, his collies, and Sunnybank, his cherished family estate in New Jersey. In the twenties and thirties Terhune found an enormous poplar following, and although literary critics were, and still are, hard on him, the Master was able to do what few writers have accomplished: he transmitted his great loves into the hearts of millions of readers.This biography reveals Terhune to be a complicated man who was possessed of boundless compassion for his collies, endless love for Anice, and benign indifference for Lorraine, his only child, whose mother--Terhune's firs wife--died in childbirth. Irving Litvag writes of a quick-tempered, crotchety Terhune and of an adoring husband; of a writer who rebuffed true literary endeavors for money's sake while sneering at himself as a "scrawler of second-rate stuff"; of a man who found spiritual sustenance to the beauty of Sunybank while being obsessed by a a fear of dying in poverty.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
